I marked this as sold for now as some reached out to me yesterday and I hadn’t updated yet, but if it falls through I’ll update the post. to clarify though, the 1500 was for both.

Hardware is Gen 2. Case and forward closure are new. retaining rings and nozzle holder were used once in another motor. I've updated the post and included an image. Let me know if you need anything else

I added in a 98mm 6xl complete motor hardware as a package with the N5800 reload. I'll only sell the hardware with the reload, but figured someone might be interested.

updated post.. N5800 is all that remains...

CTI 38mm were all sold.

Selling some reloads to thin things out for a move. These are local pickup only in the Chicago area, including Bong/QCRS launches. All have been stored in a dry lock box in original packaging: CTI 98mm N5800 - $900 (sold) Reload with 98mm 6XL complete Gen 2 motor hardware with case and all...

wow, awesome project. looking forward to seeing it complete!

Ouch.. For added comfort these days, if there is room, I always fly with a Featherweight GPS and then just throw the Wildman tracker in anyways.

Wow, nice build followed up with a fantastic paint job. Congrats on the L1!

Nice work on the L2!

I'd add my own similar funny story to this: - Forgetting to confirm your tracker receiver channel and ending up tracking someone else's rocket! As it turns out, I must have bumped the tracker channel on my Wildman tracker. Turned it on and started tracking. After a long walk, realized I had...

This is one of my all time favorite photos of a rocket that I have built. I must give credit to Kevin Harnack for this awesome shot, and hope he doesn't mind me sharing! This was at Tripoli Wisconsin I think back in 2017:

I should add, sorry I can't be more help. Perhaps you can share a bit more detail? Also, are you trying to save on BP or is there some other reason for this approach? I'm curious :)

In my limited experience, I can't say I've seen this so I'd assume this isn't standard practice. I'm also not sure I'm following how this would work in practice. Then again I have only built one "larger" rocket. For my 6" project I went about BP charges as per usual.. Estimating using an online...

Great thread and love the pics of the flight! nice work!

Here is a checklist I used for my L3, slightly modified for this thread to generalize a bit. I like to divide mine into a section for prep and a section for once on the pad: Prep: Install fresh/charged batteries for each altimeter Install fresh/charged battery in tracker transmitter Connect...

On arming altimeters with the twist and tape method, accidentally getting some tape onto the body of the booster section... Drogue pops, and the wires get ripped out, cutting power to the altimeter.

I have always upped the second charge 20%-40% or so. on a related thought, if the rocket is large enough to fit it, i'll also run a backup altimeter on it's own power source.

I would recommend trying supports, and if that doesn't turn out right perhaps modify the design. As OverTheTop mentioned, Cura has gotten better and better with supports and I had found that supports come off pretty easily. If you are up for a bit of investment, I've heard Simplify3D is rumored...

Many thanks to QCRC for another fantastic launch! MMWP was my first launch when returning to rocketry after a long hiatus, so it's a personal favorite of mine. I had one good flight and unfortunately one failure. at the looks of it, the ejection charge did not fire and I have to look into why...
